If you intend to keep it to rot then throw on some high nitrogen
fertiliser to help speed the process.


In other words, pee on it.


Won't the horses have done that?


Yes, of course, but Rob is worried that the lay-soft may deplete the
nitrogen as it composts so a little of yours will do no harm and probably
some good.
